I simply cannot believe the number of "adults" who post on the forum frequently and are cranky, bitter, self-loving/loathing idiots. I wish they'd go away and the cool, funny, kind people would stick around. There are so many people that post too often and their negative energy just turns the forum into high school, with the "cool" bullies making this an unfriendly and unhelpful place. Yeah, you ride more than me and you have a blog and you think you are god's gift to the world. I get it; you don't have to keep reminding me all the time. I try to block them out & putting them on my ignore list helps with that It just amazes me that I could share something so wonderful (a love of cycling) and yet find enthusiasts in here that I feel like I share nothing with, because they are rude and think they know everything.
You do realize that by posting the above you're simply hanging a big slab of meat out for the very wolves you try to ignore, don't you? Instead of misguided berating those who just might have the same love of cycling as you, why not try and change the tone with wonderful stories of your experiences of the wind blowing through your hair as you whisk along at 12 mph, and feeling of tears running down your cheeks as you gaze upon a beautiful sunset? Or find a forum and group of people who would better appreciate that kind of experience. Why torture yourself?
